Ive driven the 370z, my former co-worker has one. It's a VERY nice ride.
It is beautiful, and yet, I am proud to own an EVO.
But, Id be proud to own either car. I also owned a Miata and 2 RX8's.
I do think the oil cooler and "limp mode" thing are kinda large oversites for a well known Japanese carmaker, although most people probably never track their cars, I know I never will...but still what was Nissan thinking?
